"Engaging in a little suffering — however self-imposed, arbitrary and contrived — before breakfast each morning tends to demand some humility and injects some marked relief into the rest of the day, making things sharper, more inspired, more immediately aware of the powerful presence of being. And that seems really worthwhile." A. Krupicka
"I cruised down hills, churned up hills, and floated over the asphalt, existing in a world that seemed to lack the confinements of such ubiquitous rivets as time, obligation, or pain. I knew then that this was destined to be one of those serendipitous runs for which so many of
us strive yet so rarely achieve." J. Nevels

16.3 miles - soapstone basin - uintas. had a great over night trip. Thayne invited me to come up and camp with his family and do a long run in the morning. even though it was just one night, i love doing stuff like this. to me it's worth the effort of packing up the gear and making the drive - it gives life a little more texture. anyway, our original plan was to drive out 20 miles and run back to camp, then go back and pick up the car afterwards. however after about eight miles of driving on the soapstone basin road we realized that this run was going to be much tougher than we anticipated. plus the drive was taking a long time as driving on rocky, washboard makes for slow going. we came off the dirt road and drove a couple of miles up a highway, and parked. starting the run just over 10 miles from camp. we decided to run some out and backs along the way to add more mileage to the run, and that worked out pretty well. after seeing the terrain we would be running on, very steep. long climbs and descents, we adjusted our plan to an 18 mile run, (which was ultimately adjusted to 16 miles). we were at about 9,500 hundred feet at the start and dropped over 1,000 feet in the first two miles, then gained back over 700 feet over the next two miles. a great way to start a run. did i mention we were in the uintas? beautiful, beautiful, mountainous meadows. we stayed at around 9,000 ft over the next three and a half miles, rolling up and down, throwing in a couple of short out and backs on suitable roads along the way. then slowly descended to 7600+ feet over the next 7.5 miles with an almost 200 ft climb in the last mile back to the campsite. 16.3 miles, 3+ hours of running at altitude with plenty of climbing and descending...in the uinta's! all around awesome run! our slowest mile was 14:45, out fastest was 9:12. ended up with an 11:32 pace over the distance, including all stops etc. didn't think about pace at all today. walked some of the steeper sections, stopped many times along the way for bladder control, rock from shoe removal etc. great relaxing longish run. thanks Thayne! WT 58.8 miles two-o-nine edit: i forgot to mention sitting in the river after the run. never tried that before, it felt super good on the legs.
